My only targeted listening experience with DSP has been bad, including "modern" "reinforced" concert halls.

I later found out from one new-ish concert hall sound guy that they always immediately "digitize" the sound specifically in order to "process" it, according to the pre-determined "sound-shaping" criteria of the "audio engineer" who worked with the architect to design the hall in the first place.

Do hi-fi people still start with analog sources that are fed into DSP pods or is most of the "signal" used in forward-thinking stuff assumed to be digital from end to end?

I would surely like to hear DSP "delay", etc. done right once before I die, but by now I suspect that there are certain problems that inhere with writing digital slopes, curves, etc.

These horns look to be manageable in terms of size.  Why go digital when real time asppears to be an easy enough option in this case?

Has it come to the point where it's a "given" that DSP is SOTA?

Best regards,
Paul S
